Shares of THQ were down 25% since the inception of Homefront

Metacritic's fault after the launch of Homefront, the shares of THQ have fallen by 25% in one day. Yet the game was the one with the highest pre-orders from the company ever had. What happened? Metacritic, of course. It seems that the average rating of 75 on the infamous site ranking has been disastrous for THQ and actions reflect the "failure" of the game to achieve a higher average scores.

One wonders how he managed to become so powerful Metacritic for the gaming market and the entire audience, enough to lead to such substantial market fluctuations. Source: Joystiq
